LZAA: If you knew what you were talking about you would know that Enugu and Benue apart from sharing borders also share blood ties but no your childish tribalism will not let you see front The same Enugu 2face and Blackface went to poly in See ehn Dem suppose give una chairman Mao treatment Smh
You’re joking. Leave Benue State, let’s talk about Ebonyi that was carved out from Enugu and Abia State, having boundaries with Benue, Cross River, Abia and Enugu..,
Don’t most of you igbos ( from Anambra especially,) discriminate against your Ebonyi brothers? I have heard a lot of Igbo guys refer to their Ebonyi brothers as the abokis of the south east. They look down on Abakaliki boys who mostly, are less arrogant and more accommodating than most of you who claim to be the main igbos.
Leave Benue having boundaries with Enugu. It’s a geopolitical phenomenon and has nothing to your credit or benevolence.
Talk about your own Ebonyi brothers and how you treat them.
owobokiri: Get over it.. My cousin have tried to be recruited by Rangers for years but they never signed him. He is at Enugu as we speak, and he is a full blooded igbo btw. ..
That you became a good player later in life, doesn't mean you were good at the time you were with them. Rangers as a club has helped lots of non igbo players to the top.. As at today, a lot of their players and recent managers are not even igbos.
Taribo West is not igbo, he played for Rangers and became a Super Eagles player. The list is endless. Yall should get off the igbo mans dikc.. And to Moses and his cat legs..,Make we hear word ahbegi..
Most of you guys, whenever your tribe is mentioned, blood stop’s flowing to your brain and pumps to parts of the body that never helps in vivid reasoning.
That guy is from Benue state, what gain does an average Benue man derive from tribalism? A people with good reputation for hospitality and treating strangers even more importantly than themselves
In as much as there could be few exceptions based on individual differences, the average Benue man by statistics, has an open arms to other tribes than an average Igbo man.
Refuting this guy’s claim like he’s out of his mind is what makes you stink. You weren’t there with him when it happened..,and yes Taribo played for Rangers, so what? does that make it impossible for management to employ new hands with different dispositions or perceptions
Even if a new president from the East shows up today and develops Nigeria infrastructure-wise to the level of Japan these kind of tribalistic mindsets will never make the system work. Many of you guys accuse the Yorubas of what you equally are.
If you like finish one bag of kola nuts 🌰 and spit wise proverbs like the ancestors. That kind of wisdom would never develop your community into a modern day sophisticated hub like America, Japan, Korea or China. It only keep you tied to your roots and blind to the realities beyond your physical and mental boundaries.
I know you would come up to start mentioning igbos who are doing well in diaspora. That’s bullshit. Tell them to go home and build a working system. That’s the true wisdom and smartness we’re talking about.
You guys should learn to keep an open mind whenever your tribe is mentioned, so you can think clearly and objectively.
AccidentedCars: You will find love without money, but only when you're a boy. When you become a man, that grace is taken from you.
There's a level of affection you will NEVER experience, even from good women, if you can't afford a basic, livable income.
I am not even referring to sending money in its monetary form. I mean just the things that make life easier to go through.
My partner had a job interview in another city last year. Not a local thing – a real opportunity, the kind that could shift her career.
The interview was at 9 AM on a Monday.
She told me about it on Thursday evening.
By Friday morning, I had booked her a bus ticket for Sunday, reserved a decent hotel room near the venue so she wouldn't be scrambling on Monday morning, and sent her money for a new blouse because the one she planned to wear had a pulled thread she hadn't noticed.
She did her prep on Saturday. I sat on a video call with her for nearly 3 hours while she practiced her answers. Not because she asked – because I knew she was nervous and wouldn't say it.
Sunday evening she got to the city. She called me from the hotel room.
"Babe, it's clean. There's hot water. I feel like a human being."
That sentence hit me differently.
"I feel like a human being."
The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident.
She got the role.
This isn't a one-off. This is just what being present looks like when you can afford to be.
I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house.
I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point.
I can't stand the heat. I physically cannot function when it's 35 degrees inside. So if I can't take it, how can I let her sit in it? That's fuel money. Every single day when there's no grid power. 5 to 7 litres. Daily. Especially when she's staying over.
We don't do "let's manage." We don't trek to places. It's always a cab or a keke at minimum.
That's not luxury. That's what I consider basic.
Add it up over a year:
Fuel for the generator. Transport every weekend. Groceries restocked every week. Subscriptions renewed every month. Random needs – a drug she needs at midnight, airtime when her line runs out during something important, data when she's on deadline.
That sums up to well over 2 million naira each year. And I'm not talking about MONEY sent as money. I am just referring to basic convenience.
The things that make a woman feel like she's with someone who has capacity. Not wealth. CAPACITY.
Your best bet as a young man is waiting until you're certain that love is ALREADY present before following through with generosity.
So yes, you can find love without money.
But there's a level of love you cannot preserve without financial stability, not because your partner is a bad girl, but simply because this is the fucking planet, and the nuances that make life beautiful, or at least livable, are expensive.
In summary, you'll find love without money as I did all through the years when I was a boy.
That grace is removed when you become a man.
Lemme ask you a question. Peller has money. Is he a “man”?
My wedding was scheduled for March this year, but everything changed after my fiancé's father passed away unexpectedly in November.
His funeral was held just three weeks later, in December. I genuinely wanted to attend, but there was one major problem: my employer had a strict policy against granting leave during the December holiday period. When I accepted the job, this condition was clearly stated. Despite explaining my situation and pleading for an exception, my request was denied.
I informed my fiancé immediately. At first, he appeared understanding. I even contributed financially to support the funeral arrangements.
Then his mother called.
She told me that if I truly wanted to become part of their family, I had to be physically present at her husband's funeral. I tried explaining my circumstances, but she ended the call before I could finish.
When I called my fiancé afterward, I expected him to stand by me. Instead, he asked:
"If it were your own father, wouldn't you find a way to attend?"
I explained that the situations were different because my employer might make an exception if it were my immediate family member.
That was when he dropped the bombshell:
"No presence. No wedding."
I thought grief was speaking. I thought time would calm him down.
I was wrong.
The wedding was officially cancelled.
My family tried everything to reconcile the situation, but his family refused every attempt. Eventually, my father advised me to accept the loss and move forward with my life.
It broke me, but I did.
Months passed.
Then, on May 20th, my ex-fiancé called me.
What he said left me speechless.
According to him, I had failed the test of being a good wife because I stopped trying to convince his family after the wedding was cancelled. He said a "real wife" would have kept begging until she was accepted.
Then he announced that he had "forgiven" me.
Not only that, he had already chosen a new wedding date in August and expected me to start preparing immediately.
As if the breakup had never happened.
As if my feelings didn't matter.
As if he alone had the authority to decide when a relationship ends—and when it resumes.
Without hesitation, I told him I was no longer interested.
His response shocked me even more.
He said:
"I'm not done. You don't have the right to be done."
I blocked his number immediately.
But that wasn't the end.
A few days later, he appeared at my father's house carrying the bride price and all the marriage items he had previously rejected.
My father told him clearly:
"My daughter has moved on. As far as this family is concerned, she is no longer available."
Still, he refused to accept it.
Since then, he and his mother have continued calling, visiting, and pressuring both me and my family despite my repeated refusal.
Now I'm beginning to wonder:
Is this really about love, or is there something deeper behind their sudden determination?
What troubles me most is the mindset that someone can cancel a wedding, disappear for months, return when it suits them, and expect another person to simply obey.
I am now considering legal action because the constant calls, visits, and refusal to respect my decision are becoming disturbing.
My question is:
If someone ends a relationship, then later decides to "forgive" you and resume the wedding without your consent, would you see that as love... or as a dangerous sense of entitlement?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Now this is the hard truth no one here is telling you. Divide that story to 2 parts;
1. You couldn’t stake your job for the burial of your father-in-law to be. That was a litmus test to check if you’ll prioritize career over family.
2. They came back for you, which actually is so absurd. This is the part that makes you feel like you were right and they were wrong.
Walk away from him. No one goes back to his vomit. His mother has a strong influence on him. You could be worse off when you become a mother-in-law too.
Now lastly, go back to that no. 1
Some men hate the idea of a home being shaped and conditioned by their partner’s career. A woman’s greatest currency, as long as marriage is concerned, is not her money but her virtues. Next time you find yourself in a similar situation with a potential spouse to be , Remember that family is everything. If you have one, cherish it. If you’re about to build one, don’t build it with sticks but with principles and core values
obembet: You finally get the chance to go on an important date with your long-time crush, but just as you step out in public, something unexpected happens, what would you do?
Source: Obembe Tosin
I’ll brush it off with handkerchief and spirit and move on for the date. What just happened will be a test for the girl in question. If she passes that test, there’s the wife for me. A woman who’s inclined to be a great mother and a wife will adore you for not making much ado of a baby’s mess. If it’s poo, it’s a different thing altogether.
timidapsin: There’s a question trending online right now, and at first glance it looks simple… but the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it gets.
Imagine this:
Blue Button: If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives..
Red Button: If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive.
Which will you pick?
In Nigeria, almost everyone will go for the red button. In The West almost everyone will go for the blue button.
One has a strong for self satisfaction and consumption even at the expense of others.
The other has a strong sense of obligation and responsibility that whatever becomes of his environment or community is based on his input and decisions.
This is the difference between Africans and Americans.
Emeskhalifa: You don't fight someone who has nothing left to loose.
You sanctioned them for 47yrs, still they thrived above that.
Except America is willing to kill civilians without guns or any form of weapons tonight, the world is watching.
The world doesn’t watch when you blow up churches for alah. Abi. Last I checked there’s nothing like human rights in your shariah. It’s a democratic, western concept. Make una dey slow down think small with Una head.
mynd1: All I have to say is God bless Iran for teaching America and Israel that not everyone can be bullied.
As for you up, I don't like you cause you full of hate for Muslims and Islam.
You guys call the US the biggest terrorist in the world.
Now for the Iranian youths to be this confident that America will not strike them speak volumes. I mean Who puts his family in harm’s way, banking on the compassion of his adversary for their safety? That means that adversary has got a reputation for sticking to certain principles.
You won’t trust your life into a terrorist’s hand to ensure the safety of your property. If you can confidently do that, then either the person is not a terrorist or you’re insane.
Omoboricash: Since they arrived the country, the rate of insecurity had increased. The sycide bombing on increase. U personally has not felt efdect of American soldiers on our soil
Why do little spellings of basic words give you stroke and fever like this?
potent5: Madam, go and build your own house and give it out for free. You won't hold government responsible, it's a private person who invested his money that's your problem. Go and live under the bridge if you like.
If objects are not serving purpose or just occupying our living spaces, we trash them and call them “refuse”. Nigeria would have been better if not for lots like you that have life. That life that comes from God is what we respect and hold sacred, for the sake of God, irrespective of your uselessness to the ecosystem. So Nigeria’s development has got to wait while your lots are alive. It’s so unfortunate.
Osariemen12: It's annoying reading comments of Nigerians here supporting SA people on the basis of pure hatred for our neighbors in the east. What SA law does the coronation violate? Do you think it is possible for the people to carry out coronation without approval from SA authorities? Whatever thing they do within the boundaries of the laws of their host country should not lead to protest.
To those supporting SA people to spite the Igbos, know it that it will come down to you one day. It is actually your silly comments here and other social media platforms that show outsiders how disunited we are as a people; hence, such ridiculous protests.
You might call this kingship or whatever. What was Ms Adetshina's offense? She is beautiful.
Stop the madness on this forum.
Oga shut up and think for once. You guys create enemies for yourselves when actually there’re none.
What is the essence of an Igbo king on South African soil?
No matter how large the Igbo community in South Africa, even if it were as large as half the natives’ population, does it call for an Igbo King? Can’t you be enlightened?
This is the same place you’ve experienced rifts in the past with its impulse still hanging in the air . Yet Una no wan get sense.
CJStarz: We have Igwe in New York, Igwe in Minnesota, why not Igbo leader in ordinary South Africa? Nnaa ehhh
Why you no carry the igwe use am create a working system for yourselves?
What’s the economic importance of igwe in those places?
You think the whole world is made of red earth?
No be only you get traditions. Bend low. Use your head. Your love for titles and self worship is probably not welcome in South Africa. Be civilized for once.
BREAKING: South African protesters have burnt vehicles and buildings belonging to foreign nationals in protest against the installation of a Igbo king in Eastern Cape.

There is a good reason why Iran has been threatening Israel and the US. The US together with Britain is responsible for the crisis that brought about the Islamic Regime. Read up about the CIA operations in the early 50s in Iran.
Israel on the other hand was built on violence and has continued to export violence and terrorize the countries surrounded it. Hamas and Hezbollah are a a response to Israeli aggressions.
To this very day, Israelis occupy lands that are not theirs and even in this current conflict, they have already taken huge parts of Southern Lebanon.
Now as for Islamic extremism, you can claim that is what Israel and America is fighting but when you educate yourself on the issue, you will found out there's more to what meets the eye.
This does not in anyway discount the problem of Islamic terrorism but it is certainly not what the interest of the US or Israel is in this conflict.
For the dumb and brainwashed Nigerian Christians, Trump just said this :
[quote author= post=138909652] You don't support the Ukraine war but you support the US war on Iran?
You don't support America having bases around other countries but you support them having bases around Russia?
You're confused. [/quote]Pot calling a kettle black.
Anyway we outside your circle see you both as same family, suffering from the same genetic disorder. It doesn’t matter the degree. ISWAP, Boko Haram or Hezbolla. We’re fine if you fight and kill yourselves. It’s a way to keep the world safer
NOETHNICITY: That’s a great plan. Lagos should be doing this. The national grid a complete mess. Tinubu should fire the minister of power ASAP
You guys funny sha. That was how you guys dragged Emefiele instead of Buhari. Instead of telling Tinubu to resign and give room for competent hands, you’re blaming someone he fixed there to do his bidding. Tinubu never appoints anyone because of the person’s competence, he only appoints based on the person’s loyalty to him. If the head is sick, the whole body suffers. So call the head to order or perform a surgery and replace it with a useful head
Babangidapikin: If there's no demand there would be no supply, moreover not everyone sold slaves just a few retard ones.
Oh really!
Have you ever come across the tag “Not for sale”? Does it cross your mind that some things are priceless but the moment you attach monetary value to them they lose their authentic value??
Must you always sell because there is a buyer? How do you define value?
Lifestone: Probably you need to go and read your history books again. Wars were fought to capture slaves, raids, children separated from their parents, a whole family captured and sold into slavery. Human were sold in exchange for drinks, mirror, salt weapons etc. Pay a visit to Gore Island, Senegal and visit the Gate of no return and you will better appreciate the evil of slavery. So stop commenting on what you little or nothing about
Oga keep kwayet jooor
The trans- Saharan slave trade that resulted as a spread of Arabic-Islamic influence through North Africa and the trans atlantic slave trade that came up as a result of the Portuguese merchants entering West Africa.., all of these would not have been possible if there wasn’t an already existing form of slave trade going on in Africa. Kingdoms conquered other kingdoms. Villages conquered other villages and took men and women captive, sold the men off and use the women for pleasure. It even got worse when gunpowder arrived in Africa. African kings sold their own black brothers to the Europeans for gunpowder and other crazy inventions , in order to stay powerful and dominant.
But Ethiopia was different because of a leader like Emperor Menelik II, who oriented kingdoms under him against disunity. Purchased artilleries from Europe and trained about over 100k soldiers to defend their homeland. Reason why Ethiopia was never colonized: one mindedness and unity. Go and read on the battle of Adwa and how the Treaty of Addis Ababa came up.
For almost every slave traded in Africa to the Europeans, was a black slave master who brokered the deal. Na rat wey dey inside house dey call rats wey dey outside enter house. Own up to your flaws and put yourself together. That’s the first step in self development. Not go about, trading blames
Due to the error in your spelling and poor editorial work, I struggled to interprete the location of the incident. I even thought it is somewhere else.
Eyah. See you, see editorial work. Just like someone else is supposed to be doing some “common sense “ work on your posts.
A young lady shares her emotional experience after allegedly being sexually assaulted on a public bus.
According to her: A man in his late 50s sat beside her, placed his hand on her lap and began rubbing it inappropriately. She confronted him, but when she reported the incident to other women on the bus, they reportedly asked, “Is that why you’re crying?”
She recorded this tearful video immediately after alighting from the bus.
This story has sparked massive debate online — some people question why she didn’t react more physically in the moment, while others argue that no one should ever be touched without consent in public spaces.
What do you think? Should women normalize immediate physical confrontation in such situations? Drop your thoughts below 👇
